Thanks for the charts Ox. I am wondering however what you are thinking about the stocks that you shared charts on? Not necessarily all of them but if you were going to do something with one or two of these stocks what would it be? Where would you like to buy or short and at what price?

EPS .96,.69,.42E, .54E ny

Stock got ahead of itself last year and has been taking a beating ever since. Making new lows....excellent reversal watch candidate. No rush. Wait on this one!

CY - back to late 2010 price levels

Same comments as ATML.

EMKR - just watching....old habits die hard...

OCLR - back to 2009 levels
Last 3 years
Revs 466, 385, 695E, 840E ny
EPS -.96, -1.32, -.41E, .01E ny

Merged with competitor, accounting for rev jump. Interesting niche in optical components and lasers. Price to sales .65. How fast will the potential synergies show? Certainly the analysts are predicting they will actually earn money next year. Lots of competition in the space....

COHU, BRKS beaten down semi equips. No rush. Watch for reversal.

VSAT - ViaSat, Inc. provides fixed and mobile broadband services, and satellite and wireless networks, as well as secure networking systems, products, and services for government and commercial customers worldwide. I was recently in the caribbean and was thinking about companies like VSAT....HRS.

Stock looked way ahead of itself at $50 earlier this year. Capital intensive business but showing excellent potential going forward. Much more reasonable now. Next couple of quarters will be telling. Estimates are very, very bullish 3 quarters out but they can easily be changed. I would expect it to find a bottom in the low 30s, high 20s. Will be watching.

HRS - Harris Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, operates as an international communications and information technology company that serves government and commercial markets worldwide. The company operates in three segments; RF Communications, Integrated Network Solutions, and Government Communications Systems.

Has had a great run since May. Very profitable business, with the exception of 2 quarters in the past 5 years, they are an earnings machine. Since Q2'10, they have earned over $1/qtr with the exception of the kitchen sink quarter Q3 of last year. Steadily rising dividend stream as well. Might be a little ahead of itself at this point but EPS trends are going in the right direction.
